Samuel L Jackson, 54, often in enormous hits even if he's not exactly responsible for their success, had just added another billion dollar franchise to his resume with his turn as Mace Windu in the Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones. Is he a household name more for his ubiquity than for his performances? 



His career is rather like that of Michael Caine and Gene Hackman before him: 



a [sprinkling] of blazingly good work here 

and 

there [keeps] the reputation intact despite the filmography also containing huge swaths of disposable [filler]. 



He can't say no! Jackson began to find steady employment as an actor in 1987. He's amassed a frankly astounding number of credits since then in everything from features, tv, to DVD fare, 108 of them in fact. Seven more films coming our way in the next two years. He's not going to be ignored. He's stalking us.
